WEBVTT FROM THE WZID TRAFFIC NETWORK, I'M SUZANNE ROANTREE FOR 95.7 WZID. ALL RIGHT. OUR TOP STORY OF THE MORNING, A WOMAN HAS PLED GUILTY TO SEVERAL CHARGES IN SECTION WITH AN ACCIDENT THAT KILLED A 14-YEAR-OLD GIRL IN LACONIA LAST YEAR. THE FAMILY SAYS THE DRIVER WHO HIT AND KILLED THEIR DAUGHTER WILL NOT BE SPENDING ENOUGH TIME IN PRISON, EVEN THOUGH THEY AGREED TO THE PLEA DEAL. RAY BREWER LIVE TO TELL US ABOUT THE EMOTIONAL DAY IN COURT. GOOD MORNING, RAY. GOOD MORNING, SEAN. A SURPRISING ONE AS WELL. LILYANNA JOHNSON'S FAMILY WAS EXPECTING AN EVIDENCE HEARING. INSTEAD AMY LAFOND PLED GUILTY TO FOUR CHARGES. THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO ABSORB WHAT HAPPENED. IT WAS A SURPRISE TO THE VICTIM'S FAMILY. BUT THE FAMILY SAYS THEY AGREED TO THE PLEA DEAL TO KEEP AMY LAFOND OFF OF THE ROADS AND BEHIND BARS. NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE. HOW DO YOU PLEAD? GUILTY. I'M JUST DISGUSTED. I'M DISGUSTED. SHE DISGUSTS ME. I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S PROBABLY THE NICEST THING I COULD SAY. 14-YEAR-OLD LILYANNA JOHNSON WAS WALKING HOME FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL IN APRIL OF LAST YEAR. ONE CAR STOPPED TO LET STUDENTS CROSS THE STREET. AMY LAFOND SERVED AROUND AND DROVE UP ON TO THE SIDEWALK STRIKING TWO STUDENTS. 14-YEAR-OLD ALYSSA MINER WAS INJURED BUT SURVIVED. LILYANNA DID NOT. THE PROSECUTOR SAID THAT AMY LAFOND HAD OXYCODONE IN HER SYSTEM, BUT THERE WASN'T ENOUGH PROOF SHE WAS IMPAIRED. SHE PLED GUILTY TO NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE AND THREE OTHER CHARGES. SHE WILL SERVE SIX AND A HALF TO 14 YEARS BEHIND BAR. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S IMPORTANT. TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ANOTHER FAMILY FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. IF SHE GOT 20 YEAR, IT IS NOT ENOUGH. IT IS NOT ENOUGH TIME. IT IS NEVER GOING TO BRING LILY BACK AND FILL THE HOLE IN MY DAUGHTER'S HEART.
